New Quad and Engineering Department
Tagged:
- Three years after building work began, King’s students and staff were able to enjoy the newly resurfaced Quadrangle at the heart of the university’s Strand Campus, and the state-of-the-art engineering laboratories and teaching spaces underneath.
- As part of the Quadrangle redevelopment project, the ageing asphalts on the surface of the Quad, which connects the King’s Building and Somerset House East Wing, were replaced with new resin bound gravel, and new social spaces and seating for students and staff. Beneath the Quad’s surface, more than 3,000 square metres were redeveloped to create a new home for the Department of Engineering, providing cutting edge laboratories and workspaces for students and academic staff.
- Redeveloping the Quad is one of the major initiatives in King’s Vision 2029, which sets out the university’s bold ambitions for the future, looking towards its 200th anniversary in 2029.
